RE-PACKING TIPS 

To maintain maximum sound and engine performance the muffler packing will need to be replaced at some time during 

the muffler’s life. Yoshimura recommends repacking your muffler at least once a year.  

Failure to maintain the muffler packing may cause damage to the muffler and/or void the warranty. Regularly inspect 

the muffler body for discoloration, cracks, rattling, or other signs of wear caused by depleted muffler packing. If muffler 

packing is determined to be depleted or worn, a Yoshimura muffler re-pack kit is highly recommended to restore the 

muffler to optimum maximum performance.  

Yoshimura offers a 3-5 day turn around (plus transit time) to inspect and refurbish used and damaged mufflers.

***PRO TIP***

 

Before you install your new muffler for the first-time log the weight in your Owner’s or Service manual 

along with the current hours or mileage on your vehicle. When you are performing periodic maintenance on your 

vehicle (like a tire change, or an oil change) you can remove your Yoshimura muffler from the vehicle and weigh it again. 

Over time, the packing material inside your muffler will burn off with use, and the muffler will need to be repacked. 

When the weight loses approximately 100 grams of the original weight, you should consider getting your Yoshimura 

muffler repacked. You can order repacking kit or the parts to repack the muffler from the Yoshimura website, or  

your local dealer. You can also contact the Yoshimura sales office and arrange to send in your muffler for the repacking 

service too. 

 

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE 

Yoshimura recommends on all race exhaust systems, that all spring joints be safety wired.  Recommended wire type 

304/316 stainless steel with a .032” diameter should be used.
